is stained, though the quality OF the

RALEIGH, N. c., September O.
Sheriff Miller. OF Ashe county, was
here to-day. He says the farmers in
that county have had a hard time this
summer. Bread was scarce and they
were compelled to haul corn fifty miles.
The wheat crop there was almost n
failure, but the corn crop will be the
largest ever known. Rains in that
section have not been excessive. The
Sheriff brought three conyicts to the
penitentiary.
Attorney General Davidson returned
this morning from New York city. He
represe nted North Carolina at the ex-
tradition conference, at which twenty
two States were represented. The OBJ
iect OF the conference was to prepare a
uniform rule for the extradition of
criminals by the States. A good system
was devised, which will make the prac-
tice uniform and prove OF great advan-
tage, while preventing conflicts which
now so frequently grow out Of compli-
Gated and withdrawing rules. The
new rule will be published in about ten
days. Acknowledgement Davidson says
the Atlantic Coast Line is making o
survey for railway from Scotland Neck
to Greenville.
FARMERS INSTITUTE.
Commissioner-of-Agriculture Robin
son spoke to-day to a very large au-
dience at the Farmers Institute, in
Warrenton. State Chemist Battle went
there tonight, and will deliver an ad-
dress tomorrow. Deep interest Is
shown in the work of the institute.
At Kerville. Catawba county, yester-
day fire destroyed three stores-one
belonging TO Jarrett & Porter.
Major Wilson has actively begun the
survey of the Southern and Western
railroad from Shelby.
In Cleveland county j. ID. Pittmau
attempted to commit suicide. lie
banged himself to beam, but making
some noise, attracted attention, and his
children rushed into the room and cut
him down and saved his life,
ATTEMPT TO BURN A TOWN.
1t has been learned that Tuesday
night bold attempt was made to burn
the town of LaGrange, in Lenoir
county. Kerosene was literally used.
The fire was fortunately discovered be-
fore much damage was done.
Steps are to be taken to secure a
reunion of the Bethel regiment, which
lost the first soldier on the Confederate
side dming the war at the battle of
Bethel, in Virginia. 1t will probably
be held at Raleigh.
Reports from the section Of country
along Cape Fear river are to the effect
that the river is falling rapidly, but
that in Muse county damage has been
done to the crops by the recent rise OF
forty feet.
Pen6cr and Onslow counties are to
vote on the question of subscribing
$40, 900 to the capital stock of the VIII
mington, Onslow, and East Carolina
railway. There appears to beno doubt
tLat the vote will be favorable.
